Lotulelei wasn't the only one either, as head coach Ron Rivera had some very positive things to say about the defensive tackle's return to the practice field.

"Star looked really good. He had a good day," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He didn't have any issues, took all the reps he was supposed to."

This is obviously great news for the Panthers, and it seems that there's a good chance Lotulelei may play this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. We likely won't find out for sure until late Thursday or Friday at the earliest, but it looks promising.
